Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ordered McDonald’s burgers and soft drinks during the lunch break of the al-Azizia and Hill Metal references hearing at the accountability court on Friday. It seems as if he is tired of the staple food given to him in Adiala Jail.
According to a report by a private news channel, the deposed premier asked for fast food, after which Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Chaudhry Tanveer ordered his domestic help to bring the food for his leader. Media reports suggest that Nawaz was seen in a good mood after gobbling up the burgers and had a conversation with the media representatives present on the spot.
